Newcastle faces new Isak offer

Newcastle could face more interest in Alexander Isak this summer, even after Liverpool turned its attention to Hugo Ekitike.

Gianluca Di Marzio claims Saudi side Al-Hilal is considering making a big offer for the striker, with the club aiming to make a massive statement.

It's suggested there would be no issue in a transfer between the two sides, who are both owned by Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund.

Barcelona moves on Diaz alternative

Barcelona may well be moving on from its interest in Luis Diaz, with reports in Spain claiming the La Liga chmapion is eyeing up a new option.

According to Spanish outlet Sport, Barca sporting director Deco has held a meeting with the representatives of RB Leipzig's Xavi Simons, including the Netherlands international's brother Faustino.

However, the meeting is described as an “exploratory move”, with a move for Simons still seen as unlikely at the moment given Barcelona’s financial situation and Leipzig’s $82 million valuation.

Alexander Isak admission

New Newcastle signing Anthony Elanga has admitted there will "always be noise" around Alexander Isak's future at the club after a move to Liverpool failed to come to fruition.
